Description

Venice Beach Collections brings you this infamous mugshot. As the story goes, it was 1970 and 32-year-old Fonda — in the throes of a professional, personal and ideological rebirth — had just been booked in a Cleveland jail on trumped-up charges of drug smuggling. Later, an officer told her that orders for her arrest came straight from the Nixon White House. Displeased by her anti-Vietnam War activism, the FBI and CIA had been surveilling her for months. The National Security Agency was tapping her phone calls. Fonda knew none of that at the time but as she posed for a mug shot — her dark hair cropped close, with shaggy bangs — she raised one fist in defiance anyway. Venice Beach Collections
